The Irish Hills Twin Towers, pictured, staved off demolition for the third time this month, when owner Donna Boglarsky was granted another extension. She must provide monthly updates on the renovations.

Donna Boglarsky, Irish Hills Historical Society president, said earlier this month the unusually cold winter prevented contractors from stabilizing the towers, according to township records. Board members granted Boglarsky an extension on a month-to-month basis to repair them and raise funds for the project.

Boglarsky said she is seeking volunteers to help clean the miniature golf course in front of the towers to allow for public use this summer. A "cleanup day" is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, April 26.

Boglarsky is working closely with Mike Kaska and Bret Stuntz, one a maintenance engineer and the other an attorney specializing in brownfield development, to help plan the project.

According to the trio's plan, tax incentives will cover about half of the $1 million needed to bring the structures to code and remove the "dangerous and unsafe" label township officials placed on the towers.
